Snowy Owls Above Columbia River Gorge

A Snowy Owls perches on a weathered Ponderosa Pine tree on the cliffs, while another soars high above The Columbia River Gorge (Oregon/Washington, USA); the river below reflecting the ashy sunset of three volcanos erupting: Mt. Hood (Wy'east), Mt. St. Helens (Lawetlat'la/Loo-wit), Mt. Adams (Klickitat).

This series of illustrations is called Welcome To Cascadia and draws inspiration from classic Japanese printmaking, disaster dreams, science fiction, Pacific Northwest United States wildlife and the volcanos of the Cascade mountain range. Subtle illustrative narratives with many layers of pattern and visual texture are worked out in elaborate processes and and various media across the series.
